Just picked this bad boy up. Think I’ll put a trapeze tailpiece on unless I can find an arm for the tremolo. Unlikely, but it’s still in working order unlike most trems on these guitars - just needs the spring and arm. The pickups are making a sound when tapped with a screwdriver but the whole rest of the electrics will have to be replaced. First thing to do, though, is check the truss rod can be moved - it’s got a bit of a back bow on the neck that I think the string tension will straighten, but I’m not even going to try if I can’t then adjust it.
